According to RCR Wireless News, Research In Motion Ltd. urged a Virginia court not to shut down service to U.S. BlackBerry subscribers, claiming a shutdown could threaten public safety and business productivity. They also claimed that there is an "exceptional public interest" in keeping the Blackberry alive.
While the injunction facing RIM specifically allows service to continue for law enforcement agencies and emergency workers, RIM said that identifying and protecting such subscribers would be nearly impossible.
According to a report from J. Gold Associates a BlackBerry shutdown would cost $845 per worker to migrate users from RIM's service to another similar system.
